SocialStock Wants To Turn Social Networking Into Real-World Rewards

What good is a Foursquare check-in if it doesn't lead to a coupon or freebie? Why bother tweeting about a brand you like if they don't acknowledge your undying love and loyalty? With TechCrunch Disrupt finalist SocialStock, those types of actions may now be rewarded...or at least that's the company's vision. The service, founded by Subbu Rama, aims to be a stock market for people and places which assigns a point value to users' social networking actions.�Mimicking�the framework of a real stock market, those actions become shares and then those shares can turn into real-world rewards from participating business or brands.
